I have to ask if anyone has stayed at both the Marriott and the Renaissance down the street. I stay at the Ren and although the rooms are smaller, the staff (and the view!) are fantastic.
Yes NAB. And the Marriott staff are great even at 100% capacity. I've stayed at the Ren during NAB & it was eh in terms of staff experience. Plus no suite upgrades for anyone because a lot of companies book the suites for demos. One of the reasons I prefer the Marriott even w/o a lounge (but full brekkie) is all the rooms are suites.
BTW - if staying at the Marriott, ask for the Wynn side of the building as you get a better view (Wynn, strip, etc). The other side faces large parking lot for the convention center. Although if you were on that side you'd have a good view when they implode the Riviera this summer.
Cheers.
